   I've noticed this on other maps but  " this "  aerial view shows this   
   nicely.   
      
   if you drive down the " infamous "  east entrance road to Groom Lake   
   , one thing you notice is that ( evidently ) nearly " all " the   
   traffic  on this road turns into the 1st or 2nd farm road turnoff.   
   and after you pass the 2nd farm turnoff , the tracks in the sand   
   show very little traffic on the  east entrance road ( as compared to   
   the farm road turnoffs.  )   
      
   taking a look at the 2nd farm , the one nearer to the base boundary   
   ..... nothing looks interesting using this areal view map ........ BUT   
   ...... looking at the  1st  farm (  via the 1st farm turnoff ) , THAT   
   so called farm has the   tell tale " ejecta strata pattern  " . these   
   patterns develop where a LOT of material is dug from under ground   
   and a bull dozer is used to smooth it out and spread the material to   
   conceal it's  presence.  these " strata " always appear as weak,   
   barely visible lines that seem to radiate out from a common center   
   ( the hole )  the first farm appears to have  some " underground "   
   significance .   it might be a " automotive " entrance for the base ,   
   or some kind of ventilation shaft / escape entrance for the   
   underground  facilities that ( if you look around at these maps much )   
   has clearly expanded to a LARGE area east of the alien highway.   
   you could say this might have been a mine , but if it was mine   
   tailings, " they " wouldn't have taken so much care to make it   
   disappear.  unfortunately , bulldozer tracks in the desert are   
   extremely hard to make disappear.  they last a LONG time .   
      
      
   to see another example of what I'm talking about , go to the initial   
   groom lake picture ( the one this link brings up ) and go to the   
   east side of the dry lake and position the upward pointing  elbow   
    (  right off the dry lake bed ) of the infamous east entrance road ,   
   in the upper left corner of your screen and in the lower , center , of   
   your screen ( just above the words  "aerial photographs  "  )  you   
   will see another " hole " like I describe. they always look like a   
   meteor crater with " ejecta "  lines radiating away from them in   
   straight lines.  these are holes , usually large ones. dug  with an   
   effort to conceal the dug material piles .
